Accelerated Degree

NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR FALL 2025. APPLY NOW!

If you want to fast-track your transfer to a four-year school to complete a bachelor’s degree, the accelerated degree program could be for you! Three degrees are offered in the compressed format: the Associate of Science degrees in Business Administration, General Studies, and Social Science. All  three accelerated degrees can each be completed 100% online!

This program only begins in the Fall semester. The application deadline for the Fall 2025 cohort is July 28, 2025.

This one-year degree allows you to:

• Earn an associate degree in just 1 year
• Save thousands by completing 2 years of college at TCC versus a 4-year institution
• Receive personalized attention with low student-to-faculty ratios and regular academic advising
• Attain admission as a junior-level transfer student at most 4-year colleges and universities
• Begin your bachelor’s program immediately upon completing your associate degree

Eligibility

The program is open to new high school graduates as well as adult learners, including military-related students, who meet certain academic requirements.

Students must place directly into college-level English (ENG 111) and math courses to align with the degree (MTH 154, MTH 161 or higher).
